Yo Solid, Davis Delivers (Again!) for Brewers

MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Yovani Gallardo earned a victory with his arm a day after giving Milwaukee a win with his bat, and the Brewers overcame two home runs by Nelson Cruz to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-3 Wednesday night.

Ryan Braun hit an early two-run double and Khris Davis added a three-run homer in the eighth.

Cruz hit two solo shots and leads the majors with 19 home runs.

On Tuesday night, Gallardo delivered a game-winning RBI double as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning.

Back on the mound, Gallardo (3-3) gave up three runs on four hits and five walks in 6 2-3 innings. He also went 1 for 2 at the plate.

Braun's double in the second inning helped the Brewers build a 4-1 lead against Bud Norris (3-5).

The Brewers are idle Thursday before opening a weekend series with the Cubs at Miller Park on Friday. Radio coverage in Madison can be heard on 1310 WIBA starting at 6:35pm. First pitch is at 7:10pm.
